Song of a Sleepless Child Part 2

Let their undead legions come
I am living, they are dead
The fire of my heart will engulf them in my flames of courage

My fists, my flames
My room, my rules
My battle, my victory

I see their horns, I smell their breathe, I hear their roars
The first hand tries to grab me
I burn the hand off its body

Hands ascend from underneath the bed
The closet shakes with legions
The owl screams in fear

Flames surround my fists
My room burns in my eternal blaze
Let the war begin

Song of a Sleepless Child Part 1

Two minutes ago, the clock struck midnight
The owl perched on the rooftop
As if it was in the moon's spotlight
A scream, and the owl jumped with a hop

Don't worry, just go to sleep
You did not hear a screaming sound
It was probably just a lonely sheep
Go to sleep and don't look around

Still can't enter your nightly slumber?
Do you know what happens when you are awake?
They come in endless numbers
Making sure you will never wake
